Obradovic masters San Ġiljan’s win

Paulo Obradovic played a key role as San Ġiljan stretched their impressive run to 44 games after overcoming Sliema in a balanced encounter at the National Pool.

Sliema came into the match with their morale sky high following their thrilling derby victory over Neptunes on Saturday.

However, the Blues’ hopes of upsetting the champions was jolted in the third session when Obradovic came to the fore to hand the Saints a vital two-goal cushion with they administered in the final session.

The scores were level at the end of the opening session with Obradovic giving the Saints an early lead only for Christian Presciutti restoring parity for the Blues.

The match remained evenly balanced in the second quarter when four goals were shared.
